a. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum wil the electron transitions from a higher energy state to n1=3 appear for the hydrogen spectrum?


b. Calculate the wavelength, in nm, for the nh=4 to n1=3 transition for the hydrogen atom.

Using the Rydberg formula, calculate the initial energy level when an electron in a hydrogen atom transitions into n=2 and emits a photon at 410.1 nm. Note: the Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 107 m-1

Some books give the equation for the emission of a photon in hydrogen as follows: 1/(lamda)=R(1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2) where n1 is the quantum number in the lower state and n2 is the quantum number in the higher energy state, and R= 1.097x10^7 m. Calculate the energy of a photon emitted when an electron jumps from n=5 to the n=2 level.

I have this part done, however I'm not sure if i should multipy 2302700 or 434.1 in the equation E=hv/(lamba)
